Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(a) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and includes those policies and procedures that:

· Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company,

· Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors of the Company, and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

As disclosed in Item 8:

Financial Statements, the Company acquired Kilpatrick Life in December 2019.

Prior to the acquisition, the Company identified a material weakness in Kilpatrick Life’s internal control over financial reporting related to change management and segregation of duties for the policy administration system.

As of December 31, 2020, the known deficiencies have been remediated to the extent that they no longer give rise to a material weakness with the following controls implemented by management.

· Execution of a formal consultant agreement with the former system developer.

· Creation of unique login credentials for system users.

· Implementation of system change control processes, including the installation of a third-party database logging software.

In addition to the steps taken above, the Company will also transition Kilpatrick Life’s policies to its own Policy Administration System, which has appropriate controls in place.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has performed additional analysis and procedures to conclude that it believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S.

The Company is committed to continuous improvement of its internal control processes and will continue to diligently review its financial reporting controls and procedures as it works to remedy Kilpatrick Life’s internal controls.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become

inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The objective of this assessment was to determine whether the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.

Based on that assessment management believes that at December 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report on internal control over financial reporting does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Except for the remediation steps taken to address the material weakness related to the acquisition of Kilpatrick Life, there have not been significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In the event the transaction is not approved by a majority of the “Continuing Directors” (as defined in the 2014 Director Plan), each option becomes fully vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, whether or not assumed by the successor corporation.

Under the terms of the Plan, the Company has the option to purchase shares of Class A common stock from its officers and directors who exercise the stock options granted to them under any of the Company’s stock option plans with the proceeds from such purchase to be used to pay the taxes owed by such officers and directors as a result of the exercise of their stock options.

Additionally, the officers and directors who exercise their stock options may, in their discretion, request that the Company purchase shares of their Class A common stock with the proceeds from such sale to be used to pay the taxes owed by such officers and directors as a result of the exercise of their stock options.

The Company is authorized under the plan to purchase no more than 60,000 shares of Class A common stock in any calendar year to pay the taxes owed by the officers and directors who exercise their stock options under the Stock Purchase Plan.

The Company’s purchase price for the Class A common stock under the Stock Purchase Plan shall be equal to the closing sales price of the Company’s Class A common stock as reported by The Nasdaq National Market on the day that the applicable stock options are exercised by such officers and directors.

Class A and Class C

May 16, 2014, the Company adopted the Security National Financial Corporation 2014 Director Stock Option Plan (the “2014 Director

The 2014 Director Plan was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting on July 2, 2014 and replaced

the Company’s 2006 Director Stock Option Plan.

The 2014 Director Plan provides for the grant by the Company of stock options to

directors who are not employees or paid consultants (the “Independent Directors”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock

made available for issuance under the plan.

The 2014 Director Plan also provides that annually each Independent Director is automatically

eligible to receive options to purchase 1,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

On December 1, 2017, the 2014 Director

Plan was amended to authorize the Board of Directors to establish, each year, the effective date of such automatic grants.

March 27, 2020, the Board approved an amendment to the 2014 Director Plan to provide for the cashless exercise of stock options.

to the approval of the amendment, the consideration for the shares to be issued upon the exercise of a stock option under the 2014 Director

Plan included cash, check, or at the discretion of the Board, through the delivery of shares of common stock having a fair market value

equal to the cash exercise price of the option, or a combination of the foregoing.

As amended, at the discretion of the Board, the consideration

for exercising the option may also include the use of some or all of the shares for which the option is exercised (cashless exercise

of the option), or by any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

As a result of the amendment, the 2014 Director Plan is now

entitled, “Security National Financial Corporation Amended and Restated 2014 Director Stock Option Plan.” On June 26, 2020,

the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2014 Director Plan to authorize an additional 100,000 shares of Class A common stock to

be made available for issuance under the plan, thereby increasing the total number of available shares from 150,000 to 250,000.

stock options granted to Independent Directors shall vest in four equal quarterly installments over a one-year period from the date of

grant, until such shares are fully vested.

The primary purposes of the 2014 Director Plan are to enhance the Company’s ability

to attract and retain well-qualified persons for service as directors and to provide incentives to such directors to continue their association

with the Company.

the event of a merger of the Company with or into another company, or a consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets, or other change

in control transaction involving the Company, each option granted under the 2014 Director Plan becomes exercisable in full, unless such

option is assumed by the successor company.

In the event the transaction is not approved by a majority of the “Continuing Directors”

(as defined in the 2014 Director Plan), each option becomes fully vested and exercisable in full immediately prior to the consummation

of such transaction, whether or not assumed by the successor corporation.
